Album Review

Triangle

The first time I saw Slow Magic was in London, waiting around for XXYYXX to start his set. I had gotten there early for the sole reason of getting a good spot in the front, not because I wanted to see the opening act. However the moment the lights dimmed, the movie started playing, and Slow Magic jumped out onto the set with his multicolored flashing mask, I forgot everything about XXYYXX and witnessed one of the best live shows Ive ever seen. However apart from his performances, Slow Magic also makes some solid music. The two best words to describe this music is synthy, and organic. Slow Magic creates futuristic, pop influenced synth melodies, but also grounds it at the same time with tribal sampling and jungle drums. This combination is a welcome break from the generic dream pop of Purity Ring fame. Feel Flows is a good example of this organic synth fusion, while Corvette Cassette lies more on the pop side with a happy uplifting beat. Either way, you can’t go wrong with this album, so pick it up, enjoy and let the magic slowly wash over you.
